These Nature photos are taken in and around my garden located in Canberra , Australia. I try to capture things I find Interesting and/or Beautiful , sometimes I'll write about a picture but this is predominately a place a few words and many pretty pictures. I'm looking forward to capturing some of the essence of the garden here and seeing how it evolves through the seasonal changes. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy :)

Rose hips

This is one of the more unusual and beautiful Hips in the garden, it appears on one of the 'old fashioned' roses. That is how I refer to them. Someone told me they were English roses but I also seem to think they might be what My Mum called wild roses.

I didn't notice the shiny little iridescent bug until after I uploaded the photos.

Hey Tammy, with all those different varieties of rosehips popping up in your garden now, you should have a go at making rosehip jelly.

Oh and that lovely irridescent looking bug...looks like a stink bug to me...I had a lady tell me just yesterday that when she pulls them off her citrus tree and gives them to the chooks, they shut their eyes when they peck at them...as the stinkbugs spray a horribly nasty spray at you if threatened....Clever chooks, I say.
